Entertainment Center Sizes and Types

Consoles

Consoles are low to the ground, usually rectangular, and tend to work best with TVs that are 42 inches and above. These units make great additions to homes that value a minimalist aesthetic, with a sleek look that saves on space and provides simple storage.

Cabinets

Cabinets usually accommodate TVs up to 60 inches in size, provide plenty of storage space for media and electronics, and include doors that protect your TV when it’s not in use. Cabinets add refinement to your space by keeping your media and television neatly hidden.

Corner Stands

Corner Stands are great for capitalizing on space, but often only fit TVs that measure up to 42 inches. Many corner stands feature unique accents such as electric fireplaces or cabinets with glass doors for storing your media and technology.

Floating TVs

Floating TVs are flat-screen televisions mounted on the wall, usually above a console or shelf unit that holds cords and accessories. Although any size TV can be wall mounted, it’s especially impressive with larger sized TVs, mimicking a piece of fine art on your wall.

Love the entertainment center! Sturdy and easy to put together.

Just what I needed!

A great shelf system to put my 42 inch LED tv on. I recently bought a Definitive Technology Center channel speaker which is the size of a VCR. It could not fit in my IKEA entertainment center and I was looking for something like this! Easy assembly just pop and screw in the posts, no tools required. My speaker fits perfect underneath, like it was meant for it.
